Gold prices in Bangladesh have rebounded sharply, rising by more than Tk 12,000 per bhori within just two days after a period of repeated price cuts, according to the latest announcement by the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS).
The trade body increased the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 5,482 per bhori on Monday, taking the rate to Tk 2,30,422. The revised prices came into effect from 10:00am.
The latest adjustment follows another significant increase announced a day earlier, when BAJUS raised the price by Tk 6,590 per bhori. Combined, the two hikes have pushed up the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 12,072 per bhori in just 48 hours.
BAJUS attributed the increase to a rise in the price of pure gold in the local market, saying the change made a fresh revision unavoidable.
Under the new rates, 21-carat gold is being sold at Tk 2,19,983 per bhori, while 18-carat gold has been priced at Tk 1,88,549. Gold produced under the traditional method now costs Tk 1,53,557 per bhori.
The latest increase adds to a year marked by frequent fluctuations in the precious metals market. So far in 2026, gold prices have been revised 75 times, including 39 increases and 36 reductions.
Silver prices also moved upward on Monday.
The rate of 22-carat silver rose by Tk 233 per bhori to Tk 5,365.
The updated silver prices were set at Tk 5,132 per bhori for 21-carat silver, Tk 4,432 for 18-carat silver and Tk 3,324 for silver produced under the traditional method.
Industry insiders say local gold prices continue to be influenced by movements in the domestic market as well as changes in global precious metal prices, leading to frequent adjustments throughout the year.
